fix(security): allowlist browserstack.com for the CLI download URL override [DEVA11Y-479][DEVA11Y-488] - #50
Conversation
…de [DEVA11Y-479][DEVA11Y-488] parseOverride() now rejects any --download-url / BROWSERSTACK_A11Y_CLI_DOWNLOAD_URL whose host is not browserstack.com or a subdomain, using the same policy PR #46 applies to redirect hops. The file:// branches in resolveOverrideArtifact() and download() are removed, and download() refuses any URL outside the policy. Adds tests/download-url-policy, which lifts parseOverride verbatim and checks off-domain, userinfo, look-alike, IP, non-https, file:// and bare-path inputs. Wired into spm-smoke-test.yml.

extractVersion() accepted a redirect filename ending in '-..zip' as version '.', which resolves to the cache root itself. Reject it, and cover the version parser in tests/download-url-policy. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

A rabbit checked each URL in flight,
And kept the hostnames sealed up tight.
No local files would join the cache,
While version dots met a stricter check.
The tests ran clean beneath the moon,
Then hopped away and nibbled soon.

- Line 21: Update the test harness extraction loop in run_tests.sh to include
RedirectPolicyDelegate, then add offline callback tests that reject HTTP and
off-domain HTTPS redirect targets and accept an allowed HTTPS target. Exercise
the delegate’s redirect callback so the tests verify it applies
isAllowedRedirectTarget on each redirect hop.

…ffline [DEVA11Y-479][DEVA11Y-488] The suite checked isAllowedRedirectTarget directly but never the delegate that applies it to every redirect hop, so bypassing the delegate kept every case green. Lift RedirectPolicyDelegate from the plugin and drive its willPerformHTTPRedirection callback with an unstarted task: follow allowed https targets, veto http, off-domain, look-alike and file hops.

Why
The Security retest of DEVA11Y-479 and DEVA11Y-488 at
806f98cbfound that the--download-url/BROWSERSTACK_A11Y_CLI_DOWNLOAD_URLoverride still accepted any HTTPS host. Anyone who can set that env var (CI env injection, a malicious PR workflow, a poisoned.env) could point the plugin at their own server. #46 closed the redirect and integrity gaps; this closes the remaining ones:file://copy branch indownload().What
54eba31– override host allowlistparseOverride()now requireshttpsand a host ofbrowserstack.comor a subdomain. It reusesisAllowedRedirectTarget()from fix(security): fail-closed CLI signature verification + https/browserstack.com redirect allowlist [DEVA11Y-473] #46, so the override and every redirect hop follow one policy.url.isFileURLbranches inresolveOverrideArtifact()anddownload().download()now refuses any URL outside the policy before fetching, so a file URL can never be copied, however it was produced.github.comis not allowlisted, departing from the ticket's suggestion: GitHub release downloads redirect tocodeload.github.com/objects.githubusercontent.com, which the fix(security): fail-closed CLI signature verification + https/browserstack.com redirect allowlist [DEVA11Y-473] #46 redirect policy rejects, so allowing it here would only produce a confusing failure later. Rationale in this comment on 479.0126efa– reject.as a cache versionextractVersion()accepted a filename ending in-..zipas version., which resolves to the cache root itself. Found while replaying the C-002 chain for DEVA11Y-486; it doesn't reopen that chain.Tests
tests/download-url-policy/run_tests.shliftsparseOverride,isAllowedRedirectTargetandextractVersionverbatim from the plugin source and checks them against a case table. It needs no network and no credentials, and runs as a newdownload-url-policyjob inspm-smoke-test.yml.Testing
Policy suite: 30/30 pass. Against

The two scans above are the same assertionstestA11yScanPluginRunsmakes, run directly. CI (macos-14) is unaffected, and this PR doesn't touch that test.After merge
